What is a Botanical Cosmeceutical?
 

Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products which have biological active ingredients. The functioning of these biologically active ingredients on the skin barrier and skin health characterize the cosmeceutical realm. Botanical  Cosmeceuticals are by definition derived from Medicinal Plants. The ability of these ingredients to enhance skin functioning depends on how the Cosmetic Chemist's formulates those into creams, lotions etc. Only an appropriate formulation can maintain the integrity of the active ingredient, deliver it in a biological active form to the skin, reach the target site in sufficient quantity to exert an effect, and properly release it from the carrier vehicle.

Botanicals we use Our medicinal plant extracts derive from leaves, roots, fruits, berries, twigs, bark and flowers and we use only the highest quality of ingredients to formulate our cosmeceuticals. All our providers are certified by the MHRA in the UK. The most important factor contributing to the biological activity of our botanical cosmeceuticals is the source of the plant material as each botanical part may contain over 200 different individual chemical constituents. Furthermore the season in which the plant material is gathered greatly influences its composition. Certain actives are present only in the fall when leaves are shedding while other activities are only present in early spring when immature leaves are present on the branches.
